Arsenal host Fulham today, looking to go six points clear in the Premier League title race.
The Gunners were briefly knocked off the top of the table by Manchester City but got back on track with a nervy 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend to open up a three-point gap.
Mikel Arteta’s side now have the opportunity to place some pressure on Man City before they face Everton on Monday night, knowing this could be a pivotal gameweek in the title race.
Mid-table Fulham, meanwhile, are among a cluster of teams firmly in the race for Europe - whether that be the Europa League or the Conference League - and are on a decent run of form with just two defeats in their last eight Premier League matches.
Arsenal vs Fulham is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off today on Saturday May 2, 2026.
The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

Arteta has to ponder whether to freshen up his side with one eye on the second leg against Atletico on Tuesday.
The good news for the Gunners boss is that he is starting to get key players back.
Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze should both start after coming off the bench in the second half in Madrid.
Riccardo Calafiori is also pushing for a return and could replace Piero Hincapie at left-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly might get some minutes in midfield if Martin Zubimendi or Declan Rice are rested.
Kai Havertz - who could return in midweek - is set to miss out again, along with Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino.
Martin Odegaard is a doubt .
Kenny Tete could return for Fulham having not played since the stalemate with Nottingham Forest on March 15.
